A Simple White
Hat Technique To Get Indexed By Google

Everybody knows that getting indexed in
Google is getting more and more difficult each day and every body is looking
for that edge over the competition.

link building software and never had any special
technique that they could use to help get their pages indexed better.

Well, presenting Google Sitemaps, Googles latest offering
which is still in the beta stage, and which won't make the purists frown.

Google sitemaps is a service that allows webmasters to define
how often their sites' content is going to change, which is supposed to give
Google a better idea of what pages to index.

By placing a specially formatted XML file on your web server,
you inform Google of whenever your pages change, and then the googlebot
crawls the updated pages making the necessary updates to its database.

An interesting point is that the xml file has 2 tags,
changefreq and priority with which you can also indicate how important each
page is, and how frequently the page changes.

The valid values for changefreq are "always", "hourly",
"daily", "weekly", "monthly", "yearly" and "never" and similarly the priority
can vary from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 identifies the lowest priority page(s) on
your site and 1.0 identifies the highest priority page(s) on your site.
